Explanation
According to classical theory, the radiation from arc lamp spreads out uniformly in space as spherical wave. What time of exposure to the radiation should be required for a potassium atom $$\left( {{\text{radius}}\;2\;\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^0 } \right)$$ in the cathode to accumulate sufficient energy to eject a photoelectron?
The energy of a $$k$$ electron in tungsten is -20 KeV and that of an $$l$$ Electron is -2 KeV. Find the wavelength of X rays emitted when there is electron jump from L to K shell.
A photon was absorbed by a hydrogen atom in its ground state, and the electron was prompted to the fifth orbit. When the excited atom returnedto its ground state, visible and other quanta were emitted. In this process, how many maximum spectral lines could be obtained-
Correct answer: Option (B).
Hint: Apply the formula of de-broglie wavelength in relation to kinetic energy
Step 1: Find out the relation between de -broglie wavelength and kinetic energy.
De – Broglie wavelength is the wavelength that is associated with an object in relation to its momentum and mass.
The de -broglie wavelength can be written as:
$$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{p}$$ (where, $$\lambda$$ is the de – Broglie wavelength, $$h$$ is Planck’s constant and $$p$$ is the momentum) ….(i)
Now, we know that,
$$K.E=\dfrac{p^2}{2m}$$ (where, $$K.E$$ is the kinetic energy)
$$\Rightarrow p^2=2mK.E$$
$$\Rightarrow p=\sqrt{2mK.E}$$
Putting the value of $$p$$ in equation (i), we get,
$$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mK.E}}$$ ….(ii)
Step 2: Calculate the ratio of de-broglie wavelength of a proton and an alpha particle of same energy.
According to the given problem, both the proton and the alpha particle has the same energy.
A proton is designated as $$H^1_1$$
An alpha particle is designated as $$He^4_2$$
So, the mass of an alpha particle is four times the mass of a proton.
Let the mass of proton be $$m$$
Mass of alpha particle will be $$4m$$
Since, the energy is same and $$h$$ is constant, equation (ii) can be written as:
$$\dfrac{\lambda_{proton}}{\lambda_{\alpha}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m_{\alpha}}{m_{proton}}}$$
$$\Rightarrow\dfrac{\lambda_{proton}}{\lambda_{\alpha}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{4m}{m}}$$
$$\Rightarrow\dfrac{\lambda_{proton}}{\lambda_{\alpha}}=2$$
Hence, the ratio is $$2$$.
The correct answer is option (B).
